No, she was about as wrong as she could be. Not that you'll hear that from right-wing bloggers.
The fact that Cassy Fiano (and other right wing bloggers) still can't bring themselves to admit Palin fucked up, along with Palin's insistence she's right, doesn't bode well for the intellectual level of the right wing or its supporters in the US.

That man takes care about his future without understanding few things. If she will really be elected as president and be killed, he will receive more than a lot of problems. Maybe he was really trying to be funny, but I don't see anything that I can laugh on.

Based on his supportive comment for Titus, I wonder if DD was involved in that one.

In case there was still some residual confusion about the new tone favored by liberals after the Gabrielle Giffords shooting — you know, the tone that was supposed to curb violence by cutting out supposedly violent rhetoric — C-list comic Chris Titus has come along to give us a little lesson. From the Daily Caller, on Monday’s “Adam Corolla Show”, Titus explained how he would react to the hypothetical election of Sarah Palin as president.

Chris Titus wrote:

“You know what man? I am going to literally — if she gets elected president, I am going to hang out on the grassy knoll all the time, just loaded and ready — because you know what? It’s for my country. It’s for my country. If I got to sacrifice myself, it’s for my country.”

This was in response to Palin’s comments on Paul Revere (which of course have been proved to be accurate, not that you’ll hear that in the mainstream media). And as you can hear in the video, the audience’s response was to laugh. Apparently, joking about assassination is A-OK as long as it’s someone like Sarah Palin. Yet somehow, it’s the right that supposedly needs lessons in civility. I guess we just don’t understand that it’s perfectly acceptable to murder someone for their political beliefs, so long as the murderer is a liberal and the victim is a conservative. No wonder these morons idolize people like Che Guevara.

Of course, this will be waved off as an overreaction by the too-sensitive right. But is it? Palin’s parents have said that they have to sleep with guns because of the death threats they receive. The FBI arrested a man who had sent photocopies of a receipt for a gun he had bought and of a one-way ticket to Alaska to the Heaths. A gun-toting Palin stalker was arrested 50 miles from her home. Sarah Palin has said herself that she receives death threats on a regular basis. Were Sarah Palin a Democrat, then these incidents would be all over the media. Titus’ remarks would be denounced as fueling violent rhetoric against an innocent woman just trying to serve her country. But, alas, Palin has an (R) next to her name instead of a (D). So death threats and stalkers are brushed under the rug, and assassination is comedy.

So much for civility in politics.

So a comedian who no one's heard of in 10 years represents the left all of a sudden?

What drives people to so much hate, it's one thing to be opposed to a politician's policies or ideas but this takes Bush/Palin Derangement Syndrome to the extreme....

[bootlegga]

Pretty stupid thing to say - although the US has freedom of speech, things like death threats are exempted from it and this could lead to serious problems down the road for Titus.

Nahh I would never destroy a Land Cruiser 100 series she was travelling in. Got too much respect for that car.

This seems like a poor choice of words by Titus. Too many American political figures have been assassinated in our history.

Okay, fair enough!
